I am measuring a competitor total link in my campaign (Pro app) and the Total links are bigger than in the open site explorer?
Did you have an idea?

Hi There,
One important thing to note about Open Site Explorer is that the information for a site defaults to page specific metrics, while the campaign information will show you domain metrics. For example, if your competitor's site is www.example.com Open Site Explorer will show you only the links that point directly to that URL as a default while the campaign will show you the total number of link to all of the pages on the example.com root domain.
You can pull the root domain information by changing the of the filter on the Inbound Links tab (http://screencast.com/t/uxI55g8Noh) or going to the Compare Link Metrics tab (http://screencast.com/t/cXHEs0mpGK) in Open Site Explorer.
I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Automatically Check List of Sites For Links To Specific Domain
Hi all, Can anyone recommend a tool that will allow me to put in a list of about 200 domains that are then checked for a link back to a specific domain? I know I can do various link searches and use Google site: command on a site by site basis, but it would be much quicker if there was a tool that could take the list of domains I am expecting a link on and then find if that link exists and if so on what page etc. Hope this makes sense otherwise I have to spend a day doing it by hand - not fun! Thanks,
